Is There a Diabetes Cure?

With all the research on diabetes and advances in diabetes treatments, it's tempting to think someone has surely found a diabetes cure by now. But the reality is that there is no cure for diabetes neither type 1diabetes nor type 2 all together (Although lifestyle changes can achieve remission in type 2 diabetes in some cases.)

 However, there are treatments, including simple things you can do daily, that make a big difference.

Is there a natural therapy that can cure diabetes?

No. Natural therapies such as deep abdominal breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, and biofeedback can help relieve stress. And emotional stress affects your blood sugar levels. So learning to relax is important in managing your diabetes.

Supplements don't cure diabetes.Supplements have been shown to help improve your diabetes without side effects, but always check with your health consultant before taking any supplement.

Be skeptical about claims of a diabetes cure. A genuine cure will have been tested repeatedly in clinical trials with clear success.

What lifestyle changes can help me manage my diabetes?

Even though there's no diabetes cure, diabetes can be treated and controlled, and some people may go into remission. To manage diabetes effectively, you need to do the following:

Manage your blood sugar levels . Know what to do to help keep them as near to normal as possible every day: Check your glucose levels frequently. Take your diabetes medicine regularly. And balance your food intake with medication, supplements,exercise, stress management and good sleep habits.

Plan what you eat at each meal. Stick to your diabetes eating plan as often as possible.

Bring healthy snacks with you. You’ll be less likely to snack on empty calories.

Exercise regularly. Exercise helps you keep you fit, burns calories, and helps normalize your blood glucose levels.

Keep up with your medical appointments. That includes your doctor and other  health care professionals.

Weightloss

After weightloss, many people with type 2 diabetes see their blood sugar levels return to near normal. It's not unusual for people to no longer need diabetes medicines after weightloss.

The more weight a person loses after a weightloss programme the greater improvement in blood sugar control.

After weightloss,if extra weight returns as a result of unhealthy lifestyle and eating habits, your diabetes can return too.

Reaching and keeping a healthy weight are very important for managing diabetes. You should also follow your recommended diabetes diet, exercise regularly, manage your stress, and see your health consultant regularly for necessary checkups.
